Seth MacFarlane remembers Adam West

Los Angeles, Jun 11 (PTI) Actor-director Seth MacFarlane has paid tributes to Adam West, who passed away after a short battle with Leukaemia.

The "Batman" actor died on Friday aged 88 and "Family Guy" creator Seth has called the star - who played the fictional Mayor Adam West in the animated comedy show - as irreplaceable.

"Family Guy has lost its mayor, and I have lost a friend. Adam West was a joy to work with, and the kind of guy you always wanted to be around," Seth wrote in a note posted on Twitter which had no caption.

"His positivity, good nature, and sense of fun were undeniable, and it was always a big jolt of the best kind of energy when he walked in to record the show. He knew comedy, and he knew humanity.

Seth further added, "I am beyond fortunate to have had the privilege of working with him, and he will be profoundly missed by all of us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have given, Mr. Mayor. Youre irreplaceable." PTI JCH JCH
